BubbleMe is an up-and-coming hard seltzer brand made in Hong Kong and it sets itself apart with spiked sparkling water beverages that are infused with Vitamin C, packed with antioxidants and free from sugar. Founder Allen Zhang was inspired by the popular sparkling water brand, LaCroix, and saw an opportunity to create a flavored water product that would support guilt-free drinking experiences. As Zhang says, "We aim to revolutionize the drinking experience with healthier options for Asia."
The brand has launched three exclusive flavors in Hong Kong: crisp Mango-Peach, smooth Lychee-Lime and comforting Strawberry-Earl Grey, all with 5% ABV and formulas that are naturally sweetened, gluten-free and vegan. Although conveniently packaged in ready-to-drink cans, these hard seltzers may also be mixed to create DIY craft cocktails.
